Marvel Multiverse Table Top Role-Playing Game - Summer 2023

  A new Marvel TTRPG is heading our way for Summer 2023. I have some really fond memories of the Marvel Superheroes Roleplaying game put out by TSR in the 1980's. It was right along side Dungeons & Dragons as one of my introductory games to ttrpgs. This new game looks to be based purely on a six-sided dice system. The playtest rulebook for the game is available now for anyone who wants to run an early version of the game through its paces before the finalized version comes out next year. I'll admit I'm curious enough make that purchase myself. Here is the official press release from Marvel:  MARVEL LAUNCHING CORE RULEBOOK FOR NEW TABLETOP ROLE-PLAYING GAME IN SUMMER 2023   ‘MARVEL MULTIVERSE ROLE-PLAYING GAME: CORE RULEBOOK’ AVAILABLE JUNE 2023   FOLLOWED BY ‘MARVEL MULTIVERSE ROLE-PLAYING GAME: THE CATACLYSM OF KANG’ AVAILABLE JULY 2023     Use the D616 game system to embody your favorite Super Heroes and Super Villains!     New York, NY— August 22, 2022 –  New adventu

The Adventures of Tin-Tin



The Adventures of Tin-Tin, will be a feature film based on the classic Belgian comic strip series of the same name. This will be Steven Spielberg's first go at directing a picture using the a motion-capture computer technology. The film is produced by Peter Jackson. It looks like an interesting film from the look of the trailer. The signature features of the main characters are recognizable in their translation to a more photorealistic style. I'm only familiar with the characters and style of the book, having seen them often but never reading them.

While the geek in me thinks this is cool I have my questions. Tin-Tin as a character has a lot of recognition in Europe, but not nearly as much in the USA. So that could be a hit against this film at the US Box Office. Second, this motion capture technology hasn't been very well received by audiences, and I don't know if that will force and additional hurdle on this flick. So as much as I like the idea of this, I'm not convinced it's going to be a win for Spielberg and Jackson.
